Food Thursday: Corn Chowder

We are big soup eaters in this house but we don’t usually make soup in the summer time. Then last weekend we had unusually fall-like, cool weather and my assistant chef J and I decided soup sounded good. Then I had the idea to use some of that fresh corn on the cob from the farmer’s market. Now I wish I would have thought to make soup with that fresh corn a long time ago!

This soup turned out so well that I think I’ll freeze some of our fresh corn to make it all year round. And best of all it’s a “cheater” soup which means it starts with a few things in a can and only takes 30 minutes instead of simmering all day. But trust me, this soup tastes like it simmered all day long.
